Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for determining a clinical parameter via evaluation of sequential medical images. A sequence of at least three medical images for a patient are captured at a scanner. A set of at least two difference images are generated from the sequence of at least three medical images. Each difference image represents a difference in content between two adjacent images in the sequence of at least three medical images. The set of at least two difference images are provided to a predictive model. The predictive model includes an artificial neural network having at least one convolutional layer. A clinical parameter for the patient is determined at the predictive model from at least the set of at least two difference images.

Abstract: Described are antagonistic TNFR2 polypeptides, such as antibodies and antigen-binding fragments thereof, and the use of these polypeptides to inhibit the proliferation of regulatory T cells (T-regs) and/or myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs), to expand T effector cell populations or function, and to reduce the proliferation of, or directly kill, tumor cells, such as tumor cells that express TNFR2 antigen. The polypeptides, such as antibodies and antigen-binding fragments thereof, are TNFR2 antagonists, such as dominant TNFR2 antagonists. The polypeptides can be used to suppress the T-reg- or MDSC-mediated deactivation of tumor reactive T lymphocytes, expand populations of tumor-reactive cytotoxic T cells, and/or to directly kill TNFR2+ tumor cells. The antagonistic TNFR2 polypeptides described herein can be used to treat a wide variety of cancers and infectious diseases.

Abstract: Exemplary methods and systems can be provided for resurfacing of skin that include formation of a plurality of small holes, e.g., having widths greater than about 0.2 mm and less than about 0.7 mm or 0.5 mm, using a mechanical apparatus. Compressive and/or tensile forces can then be applied to the treated region of skin as the damage heals to facilitate hole closure, and provide enhanced and/or directional shrinkage of the treated skin area.

Abstract: A system and a method of preventing or reducing stenosis in a subject is provided. The method includes implanting a passivated graft comprising vein into an artery. The implanting of the graft replaces and/or bypasses a diseased segment of the artery. The passivated graft including vein is prepared by exposing the exterior surface of the passivated graft comprising vein to a tissue structure stabilizing agent (“TSSA”) under conditions, including irradiation with light, sufficient to promote cross-linking of proteins within the vein.

Abstract: One aspect of the invention provides a method for preparing a vein graft. The method includes: applying a tissue passivation agent to a resected anatomical vessel; placing the resected anatomical vessel in a chamber; and allowing the tissue passivation agent to cross-link while the resected anatomical vessel is in the chamber.

Abstract: The invention features a method including characterizing a white blood cell sample from a patient using cytometry (e.g., CyTOF); wherein a deficiency in regulatory or suppressive immune cells and increased activated immune cells in the sample, relative to a healthy sample, indicates that the patient has amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

Abstract: A control system controls an endoscope probe in manual mode or robot mode. The system comprises a handle attached to the probe; a portable display controller connectable to the handle; a robotic controller in communication with the handle and/or the portable display controller; and a support platform to which the probe and the portable device controller are attachable according to control mode. In manual mode, the handle is detached from the platform and connected to the portable display controller such that the probe is manually navigated to a first position inside a lumen. In robot mode, the handle is attached to the platform such that the robotic controller cooperates with the handle to robotically navigate the probe to a second position inside the lumen. The portable display controller includes a control section for manipulating the probe and a display section for displaying images of the lumen acquired in both modes.
